Petals

The body of a woman has been the subject of art forever. Sculptors, painters, and photographers have tried to capture the nature, shape, and mood of female sexuality.

The collection of photography in Petals captures the unique beauty and central mystery of a woman's body - the full flower of her vulva.

Karras' book is a series of stunning sepia-tone images of 48 vaginas. These bold portraits unveil the surprising variety and hidden beauty of female genitalia.

"These are very delicate images, an almost floral study," says New York art critic A.D. Coleman. "In his tonalities and use of light, Nick Karras has approached the subject with very near a botanist's eye for the variety of this particular physical form. I think that the title Petals is quite appropriate."

Female reviewers have been particularly positive about the book, citing the artistic integrity evident in the photographs. Women exploring Karras' work invariably express wonder at the range of line, texture, and complexity of shapes in the pictures.

Best Lesbian Romance

The erotic stories of Best Lesbian Romance put a new spin on lesbian love. In Lynne Jamneck's "Shooting Snow" set in Greenland, a photographer and the scientist who has brought her north gradually melt the glacier between them.
In Lisa Figueroa's "Under the Skin" a butch-femme couple on a tropical holiday discover the difference between new love and deep commitment.

Best Lesbian Romance delivers smart, sexy "happily ever after" stories from such luminaries as Jewelle Gomez, Elspeth Potter, and Lori Lake.

"She held me close and I wasn't sure if it was her heart beating or mine. The softness of her cheek, the heat of her against me, her breath at my ear, the firmness of her hand on my back were all a kind of communication. Our bodies were talking, which was just as well because I was pretty sure my voice was gone" - Jewelle Gomez, "Not the End of Liner Notes"

Best Gay Romance

Openly erotic and smart, the stories in Best Gay Romance deliver hope and happy endings.

Dale Chase’s “The Early Show” describes the tantalizing flirtation of two writers who share an eccentric habit of showing up early to Sunday matinees to enjoy the promising half-dark of the theater. S.J. Frost’s “No More Mirages” is a tale of romantic destiny set in a dojo, and oasis of bamboo, white mats, and stone sculptures where an actor, bitter from his last breakup, finds himself drawn to a charismatic sensei. And in Rob Rosen’s wonderfully funny “Nudie Blues,” a romance writer discovers a hole in his backyard fence and the hunky new neighbor behind it.
